drupa 2012

At drupa 2012, BOBST will present a series of enhancements to its existing product lines and services, designed to bring customers closer to a world of zero-faults, low waste and high productivity.

BOBST will also present the first results of its new Group Strategy, launched two years ago, which can be summarized as a focus on growth (in services and products for the medium-segment), on product platforms with new innovations, and the application of lean processes throughout the Group.

Equipped with the BOBST General Registron® HAWKEYE, this optical density and pinhole detector for metallized film, provides 100% web coverage.
